Introduction

Calypso is a MUD (multi-user dungeon) codebase written in C. The goal is to provide the mudding community with a codebase capable of change and to adjust readily to different ideas. The motive is to improve a somewhat stale climate in which many of the muds today have to flourish in. The more prominent aspects of the codebase are 1. being free from external control or constraint from in-game elements, 2. being generic with no tendency to lean toward a specific type of game-play. Its dynamic design promotes the sharing of in-game elements and rules. The result should be a codebase that is easy, for an administrator, to create a fun role-play environment with.
